The 2022–23 EuroCup Basketball season was the 21st season of Euroleague Basketball's secondary level professional club basketball tournament. It is the 15th season since it was renamed from the ULEB Cup to the EuroCup, and the seventh and final season under the title sponsorship name of 7DAYS. The season began on 11 October 2022 and ended 3 May 2023.
Gran Canaria defeated Türk Telekom in the final, which was played at the Gran Canaria Arena in Las Palmas, to win their first EuroCup title.[1] As winners, Gran Canaria automatically qualified for the 2023–24 EuroLeague. However, Gran Canaria gave up their spot in the league due to financial reasons.[2] [3]
The defending champions were Virtus Bologna, who were unable to defend their title as they played in the 2022–23 EuroLeague.
A total of 20 teams from 13 leagues participate in the 2022–23 EuroCup Basketball.[4]

The draw was held on 8 July 2022 in Barcelona, Spain.
The 20 teams were drawn into two groups of 10, with the restriction that teams from the same league could not be drawn against each other, except when there were more than two teams from the same league participating in the regular season. For the draw, the teams were seeded into 10 pots, in accordance with the Club Ranking, based on their performance in European competitions during a three-year period and the lowest possible position that any club from that league can occupy in the draw is calculated by adding the results of the worst performing team from each league.

The fixtures were decided after the draw, using a computer draw not shown to public, with the following match sequence:
Note: Positions for scheduling do not use the seeding pots, e.g., Team 1 is not necessarily the team from Pot 1 in the draw.

There were scheduling restrictions: for example, teams from the same city in general were not scheduled to play at home on the same round (to avoid them playing at home on the same day or on consecutive days, due to logistics and crowd control).
The 20 teams are divided into two groups of 10 teams each. In each group, teams will play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format for a total of 18 games played by each team. The top eight teams from each group will advance to the playoffs, while the last two teams from each group will be eliminated. The regular season started on 18 October 2022 and will end on 5 April 2023.
The tournament bracket is shown below, with bold denoting the winners of each match.
